Marlborough Trail Hike
Place: Marlborough Trail, Shaker Rd., Marlborough, NH (about 4 miles from Keene)
Price: Free
Ages: Older
With Harris Center. This
hike will be a good workout—the scenic 5 mile route to the open summit
is strenuous, rising some 1,800 feet, but we stop along the way to look
at early spring wildflowers in bloom, including the rosy Rhodora. Our
leaders, Ben Haubrich (Harris Center Trustee and the Monadnock State
Park’s former, long-time manager), and Paul Gagnon from the Society for
the Protection of NH Forests, will meet hikers to depart at 10 a.m. from
the Marlborough Trailhead on Shaker Road, off Route 124 in Marlborough.
Note that the last ½ mile of Shaker Road is not maintained, and
requires high clearance −possibly a 4-wheel drive vehicle. Come
prepared for hiking to higher elevations − hopefully above the “black
fly zone”. Wear layers and bring lunch and water. Back about 4:00 p.m.
